piano purchase

James:

The three pianos you mentioned are very good and certainly worth considering. 
If you have to opportunity, however, please take a good look at the Petrof. 
The Model IV is 5'8", same size at the Steinway M. Although very few people 
know about them, every piano player that has played one in my store has been 
extremely impressed with its clear tone and even touch.

<< I was just wondering if I could pick your brains for any
 opinions, info, etc. on a new grand.  I just started to look
 at Kawai, Yamaha and Steinway.
 The maximum length I can fit is 6' 1". Therefore my choices are a Yamaha
 C-3, Kawai RX-3 or Steinway Model M.
 Pricing aside, what are your feelings on these models.
 When you take price into consideration, is the Steinway
 worth the extra money? Or, would I enjoy the others
 just as much? >>
